Moore County CTP Update

What is a CTP?

A Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) is a long-range, multi-modal transportation plan. It is mutually adopted by local governments and NCDOT, and endorsed by TARPO. Moore County’s CTP is looking out to the year 2040, trying to identify current and future transportation problems and potential solutions to those problems. CTPs only identify project concepts – they do not get into specific design-related details. CTPs do not consider funding – they only identify problems and solutions, without identifying the source of funding to pay for the improvements

We are Nearing the End…



Moore County’s CTP saga began all the way back on June 1, 1998 (20 years ago!), when work began on what was then called a Thoroughfare Plan.



Over the years, work started and stopped twice (in 2000 and 2008) due to various controversies.



In 2010, NCDOT, TARPO, and Moore County agreed to try another (third) time, with a different approach that would begin with analysis of 5 focus areas

 US 1 in Southern Pines & Aberdeen  NC 24-27 in Carthage  NC 24-27 in Cameron  Western Connector  NC 211 in West End

We are Nearing the End…



In 2011, a series of well-attended charrettes gathered input from the public on the five focus areas.



Additional public meetings were held in 2015 to gather additional public feedback on recommended solutions in the five focus areas.



Final recommendations from the focus areas:

 US 1 – Superstreet (4-lane in near-term (TIP Project U-5815),

6-lane in long-term if/when needed)

 NC 24-27 in Carthage – 2-lane “Byway” on north side of town  NC 24-27 in Cameron – Leave “as-is”, with some turn lane

improvements at the elementary school

 Western Connector – Option 7 Modified (see next slide)  NC 211 in West End – In process of being widened as part of

TIP Project R-5726

Western Connector

We are Nearing the End…

 In November 2017, the Moore County Transportation

Committee (MCTC) finalized the set of recommendations to be included in draft maps and reports that would go

• ut for public review and comment

 These initial drafts were presented to Moore County and

each Town/Village in March 2018

 A series of public workshops was held in April 2018 to

gather feedback on the draft recommendations

 In late June 2018, NCDOT released an updated draft

CTP report/maps with several errors corrected, and a report summarizing the public comments received on the draft recommendations

Draft Highway Map

Draft Rail & Transit Map

Draft Bicycle Map

Draft Pedestrian Map

Next Steps



The MCTC must meet one more time to review the comments received from the public, make any final adjustments to the recommendations, and endorse a final set of draft maps/recommendations that will go out for adoption



After the MCTC meeting, we will work with Moore County and each municipality to get on your board’s agenda for presentation and adoption of the CTP



After local adoptions are complete, the plan will be presented to the TARPO board for endorsement (likely either in October or December)



Once TARPO has endorsed the plan, the NC Board of Transportation will consider adoption



After BOT adoption, NCDOT will post the finalized plan

STI Prioritization 5.0 Update

How Do Projects get Funded?

NCDOT develops a Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) every two years. This document shows “programmed” projects for the upcoming ten-year period. A 2018-2027 STIP was approved last summer and we are now in the process of developing a 2020-2029 STIP that will be adopted in 2019. Projects within the first five years of the adopted STIP (in this case, through 2022) are generally considered “committed”

• projects. Projects beyond 2022 are included in the STIP so

that work may begin on project development (environmental studies, design work, etc.) but these projects are not considered committed and are subject to reprioritization.

How Do Projects get Funded?

How Can We Affect the STIP?

Strategic Transportation Investments (STI) In 2013, the General Assembly passed the Strategic Transportation Investments (STI) law, which set up a new formula and process for selecting transportation projects to fund. The process is primarily driven by data, with some local input as well. STI takes the money that NCDOT has for capital projects (from state and federal sources) and divides it into three buckets of funding: 40% to Statewide Mobility 30% to Regional Impact 30% to Division Needs For the 2020-29 STIP, the projected available funding total is $23 billion over the ten-year period. About 2/3 of this is already committed to projects, with 1/3 available to program.

How Can We Affect the STIP?

The STI process requires that all funding decisions for the Statewide Mobility category be based 100% on data, with no local input (other than on submission of projects for consideration). Based on scoring results, no projects in

• ur area were selected for

Statewide Mobility funding. For the Regional Impact category, 70% of the scoring is based on data and 30% is based on local

• input. For the Division Needs

category, 50% is based on data and 50% is based on local input. NCDOT has a Prioritization Work Group that develops the scoring criteria for the data portion of the score. The local points are divided with equal weight between points assigned by NCDOT Division Engineers and by MPOs and RPOs. All scoring is done on a 0-100

• scale. Scoring systems are

different depending on the funding category (statewide, etc.) and the mode of transportation (highway, aviation, etc.).

When Do We Interact with STI?

Project Submissions – TARPO submitted projects for funding consideration in August 2017. These projects were scored for consideration in the 2020-2029 STIP. The next

• pportunity to submit projects will likely be in either

Spring/Summer 2019 or Spring/Summer 2020 (NCDOT has discussed possibly doing a three-year update cycle next time, but this has not yet been decided). County Rankings – TARPO uses a system that is 50% based on data and 50% based on “county-level project rankings” to help us determine how to assign local points. These county-level rankings are developed/adopted by the local jurisdictions within each of our four counties. The Moore County Transportation Committee completed this on April 18, 2018.

How Does TARPO Scoring Work?



Two factors, weighted equally:



NCDOT quantitative score



Project Priority Ranking assigned at county level



NCDOT Regional scores rescaled from 70 point to 50 point scale. No rescaling necessary for NCDOT Division scores (already 50 point scale)



County-level Rankings convert to points as follows:



#1 – 50 points



#2 – 45 points



#3 – 40 points



#4 – 35 points



#5 – 30 points



#6 – 25 points



#7 – 20 points



#8 – 15 points



#9 – 10 points



#10 – 5 points

How Does TARPO Scoring Work?

 After scoring all projects, we put them in order by TARPO

score, then work our way down that list assigning the maximum number of points to each project (usually 100)

 Our policy calls for each county to get points assigned to

at least 2 projects in that county

 The point assignments derived from this methodology

create a draft recommended point assignment, but the TARPO RTAC has the final authority to assign points and is permitted to deviate from the draft (must document the reasoning)

How Does TARPO Scoring Work?

Regional Impact Local Points



The TARPO RTAC voted at its June 14, 2018 meeting on the assignment of local input points for projects in the Regional Impact category



Projects in Moore County receiving points include:



86 pts for NC 211 widening to Candor (PTRPO will assign 14)



17 pts for US 15-501 widening to Laurinburg (LRRPO will assign 83)



100 pts for US 15-501 widening from Pinehurst Circle to NC 73



100 pts for improvements to Pinehurst Traffic Circle



100 pts for US 15-501 & Morganton Rd Interchange



100 pts for US 15-501 & NC 24-27 intersection improvements



100 pts for NC 5 modernization through Pinehurst



100 pts for US 1 improvements between Midland Rd & Lakeview



100 pts for Roseland Rd-NC 211 Connector



Piedmont Triad RPO plans to donate points so that NC 24-27 improvements between Carthage & Biscoe will also receive 100 points

Regional Impact Local Points



100 pts for US 15-501 & Morganton Rd Interchange



100 pts for US 15-501 & NC 24-27 intersection improvements



100 pts for NC 5 modernization through Pinehurst



100 pts for US 1 improvements between Midland Rd & Lakeview



100 pts for Roseland Rd-NC 211 Connector



Piedmont Triad RPO plans to donate points so that NC 24-27 improvements between Carthage & Biscoe will also receive 100 points

Please Note: Receiving Points DOES NOT EQUAL Receiving Funding! Funding is limited, and the RPO typically only gets a handful of projects funded in this category!

Division Needs Local Points



The TARPO RTAC will vote at its October 11, 2018 meeting

• n the assignment of local input points for projects in the

Division Needs category



Projects in Moore County receiving points BASED ON THE DRAFT include:

 100 pts for Poplar St sidewalk in Aberdeen & Southern Pines  100 pts for improvements to Pinehurst Traffic Circle (if not

funded in Regional category)

 100 pts for US 15-501 & Morganton Rd Interchange (if not

funded in Regional category)

 100 pts for NC 5 modernization through Pinehurst (if not

funded in Regional category)

 Possibly 100 points for Downtown Aberdeen pedestrian

improvements if enough projects get funded at Regional level and do not require Division level points (third in line RPO- wide)

REMEMBER: Points ≠ Funding

Upcoming Steps



MPOs, RPOs, and Divisions have until July 27, 2018 to submit their points to NCDOT for Regional projects. TARPO has already voted on its Regional points and submitted them.



NCDOT will release the list of programmed Regional projects at the end of August. TARPO staff will adjust the draft Division point assignments as needed to account for already-funded projects and post this information online.



The TARPO RTAC will approve Division point assignments at its October 11, 2018 meeting in Pittsboro. These Division points are due to NCDOT by the end of October.



NCDOT will release the Draft 2020-29 STIP in January 2019, and the final in June or July 2019.
